On a quick trot around the room just before the break, the biggest of the big stacks seemed to be in the possession of:
Ludovic Lacay: 2,100,000
Matthew Woodward: 1,600,000
Marc Naalden: 1,300,000
Bart Spijkers: 1,300,000
Peter Trapley: 1,400,000
Johannes Strassmann: 1,200,000
Every stack, however, seems massive, especially in relation to the 8,000-16,000 blinds they will play during level 21. All this is vindication of the tournament director Thomas Kremser’s decision to play down to 24 tonight, ensuring that tomorrow – when we will have to get down to a final table of eight – finishes some time before breakfast.
We’re looking for 19 more eliminations this evening before we can bag and tag at the end of another day.
